Aberdeen Cyrenians are the latest recipients of Volunteer Friendly Award in Aberdeen.

The charity was assessed by Aberdeen Council of Voluntary
Organisations (ACVO) on behalf of the award organisers late last year
and has subsequently been praised for its commitment, time and value it
gives to volunteering.

Scott Baxter, depute chief executive of Aberdeen Cyrenians, has paid
tribute to the charity’s pool of volunteers. He said: “Aberdeen
Cyrenians is delighted to be named as a recipient of the Volunteer
Friendly Award.

“This award is a great opportunity to recognise the key role
volunteers play in Aberdeen Cyrenians. Their support is truly invaluable
in helping us run our important and necessary services across both
Aberdeen and the north-east.”

Mike Melvin, Volunteer Friendly Award assessor at ACVO, said:
“Aberdeen Cyrenian’s submission for the Volunteer Friendly Award was of
an exceptional high standard and reflects the great commitment and value
the charity gives to volunteering.

Volunteer Friendly has been developed by Volunteer Centre Dundee with funding from the Dundee Partnership Fairer Scotland Fund.
